Fishing Pittsburgh for Fresh Water Drum in The Allegheny River
On a lunch time fishing trip I caught this 15 inch Freshwater Drum on a black and yellow panther martin with an orange and chartreuse trout magnet teaser. The fish was caught on the North Shore of Pittsburgh in the Allegheny River. The fish hit the lure rather close to shore right before the river bottom drops off to deeper levels. The fish was caught around 1:45 pm.

Asian Clam (Corbicula fluminea) was first reported in the United States in Washington’s Columbia River in the 1930s. It was likely introduced intentionally for harvest and consumption purposes (Counts, 1986).
The most prominent economic impacts of the Asian clam introduction in the United States have been related to biofouling of power plant water intakes and other municipal and industrial water intake and supply systems (Isom et al. 1986, Williams and 18 Updated 2/14/2007 McMahon, 1986). Ecological impacts result from competition with native species for space andother limited resources. The Asian clam has been blamed for the decline and local extinctions of several native freshwater mussel species (Williams, 1997).
The Asian clam is now found in all of the major river drainages in Pennsylvania, including the Allegheny and Susquehanna.
